The Tories Triumph
On the NEWS of
The Pretender's Expedition to Switzerland,
alias England.
Being a New Song to a merry Old Tune, made in the Year
1641. reviv'd in 1683. and lately perform'd at the Bell-
Tavern in W---------r.
|
I.
|
NOW, now the Whigs shall all go down,
|
The Tories up and ride:
|
These Genuins Sons of C--- and Cr---n
|
On both shall get astride.
|
We'll damn those stiff Republicans,
|
As low as low may be,
|
And whip and spur, we'll seize the Reins:
|
And then, Hey Boys! up go we.
|
II.
|
We'll broach our Tubs, and Principles
|
Of Octobers Passive Growth;
|
And till our Clubs and Bottles fail,
|
Will stand and fall by both.
|
With these we'll rout their boasted Cause
|
Of Legal Liberty:
|
Pretend the Church to break the Laws,
|
And then, Hey Boys! up go we.
|
III.
|
Their Meeting-Houses we will gut,
|
And then, as we were wont,
|
We'll swear 'twas a Fanatick Plot,
|
And the Rogues themselves have done't.
|
With French and Papists we will join,
|
To shew our Loyalty;
|
Set Perkin up with Right Divine,
|
And then, Hey Boys! up go we.
|
IV.
|
We'll send our Fool the Country round,
|
His way for to prepare,
|
With Trumpet, Pipe, and Flag and Drum,
|
Like Cavalcade of Bear:
|
The Church's Danger to advance,
|
Tho in such a Tool as he,
|
Will serve till better come from France,
|
And then, Hey Boys! up go we.
|
V.
|
We'll pray and curse, address and swear,
|
Pro-Con-the Revolution,
|
With Hanover, confound the Heir
|
Of Passive-Institution.
|
The Legal Right to weaken thus,
|
Our Interest 'twill be;
|
For Perkin then comes next in course,
|
And then, Hey Boys! up go we.
|
VI.
|
To bring this blessed Change about,
|
We'll jumble and confound
|
Whig-Politicks, and Credit rout,
|
And so the Wheels go round:
|
Till having run our Rope's full reach,
|
With Mirth and merry Glee,
|
We find 'twill hold, as well as stretch,
|
And then, Hey Boys! up go we.
